The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State, Sunday Bisi, has reportedly been arrested by the police at his residence in Ilesa.
The claim was made by Nigerian singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, in a post on X on Saturday, as voting commenced in the 2026 Osun State governorship election.
Davido alleged that Bisi was arrested at about 2pm after police officers invaded his residence.
“Just in! Osun PDP Chairman, Sunday Bisi has been arrested in his Ilesa Residence around 2pm by the Police. Police invaded his house accusing him of moving around on the day of election. The same agency that ignored APC thugs harassing voters. It is well.”
